The Thesaurus Of Plant characteristics (TOP), aims to harmonize and formalize concepts for plant characteristics widely used in ecology. TOP concentrates on two types of plant characteristics: traits and environmental associations. Characteristics are modelled as the ‘Quality’ of an ‘Entity’ used in the context of Open Biological Ontologies. Whenever possible, the Entities and Qualities are taken from existing terminology standards, mainly the Plant Ontology (PO) and Phenotypic Quality Ontology (PATO) ontologies. TOP provides names, definitions, units, synonyms and related terms for about 850 plant characteristics.
